I want to sincerely thank EVERYONE that contributed in any capacity, making the More-Self-Less 2013, “I Dream Beautiful” Christmas celebration a reality. There are hundreds
who join together, making this dream come true and after 11 months of effort, seeing the culmination of these efforts is simply amazing. It takes so many thoughts, so many
hands, so many prayers, and so many hearts to make something like this happen; that alone is a miracle. The grace that God shows us through this process is enough to drop
one to their knees, but the security in knowing that He has this in His hand is enough to hold us up. The countless personal touches of which characterize our true hearts, are what make me proud to be a part of the MSL team.

So today I sing praises and say Happy Birthday Jesus and thank you Grand Rapids. Through your graciousness, you were able to make this holiday season even more special than the true meaning behind it, for 52 families that share life in our community. Jesus smiles upon us all, as we show one another a glimpse of His unfailing love celebrating the day of His precious birth. Tonight, once again restores my heart seeing and knowing that complete strangers can express genuine love for one another, with pure hearts and motives, spending Christmas together.

Tonight I lay my head down knowing that our collective efforts have undoubtedly impacted human life and rippled the “water” around us, thus positively altering the future. Believing this, I will sleep soundly and hope and pray that each of you will as well as I mirror our Father’s words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” I personally thank each of you for making many lives, including mine, more fulfilling and allowing me to continue to Dream Beautifully. – Dec. 22, 2013

Testimonials

Last night we were part of probably one of the most touching experiences ever. We attended a Christmas party that was put on by “More Self-less”. Our family, along with my good friend Caroline (along with many other families) gave a family a Christmas they wouldn’t have had otherwise. The night was filled with Joy, Christmas carols, and a roomful of sponsor families that provided such a blessing at Christmas time to families in need. It’s rewarding to be able to give to these families and see the smiles but ultimately its what they gave to my Family..appreciation for what we do have and My heart is filled with so much more appreciation from a night like that! ♥ blessed to have been part of this! The reason I share this is not for my own glorification but because God made me with a giving heart and to always be there to give to others (a hug, my time, or whatever) so if it wasn’t for Gods gracious giving, I wouldn’t have been able to give back ~ its about him. God is Good! Here is my daughter and one of the gals that touched our lives! I suggest everyone being part of this great charity! Thank you to the volunteers who made this happen.
